JULY 12, 1951
PRESIDENT HARRY S TRUMAN
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON, D. C.
I WISH TO SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING AS A MIDDLE-WAY PROPOSAL FOR SETTLEMENT OF IRANIAN
PROBLEM:
1) RECOGNIZE IRAN'S RIGHT TO NATIONALIZE TTS PETROLEUM INDUSTRY.
2) ANGLO-TRANIAN OIL COMPANY TO RETAIN OWNERSHIP OF TANKERS AND MARKETING
FACILITIES.
3) ORGANIZE INTERNATIONAL OIL COOPERATIVE TO PRODUCE, REFINE, TRANSPORT, AND
MARKET UNDER LONG-TERM CONTRACT WITH IRAN AND AJDC.
4) CO-OP DIRECTORATE TO CONSIST OF THREE IRANIANS, THREE BRITISH, AND THREE
FROM CONSUMING COUNTRIES.
5) CO-OP TO PAY FAIR ROYAL TIES TO IRAN.
6) CO-OP TO PAY AIOC FAIR RENTAL FOR USE OF FACILITIES.
7) EACH CONSUMER COUNTRY TO BE GIVEN PRIVILEGE BY THE CO-OP TO TAKE OVER
OPERATION OF AIOC FACILITIES WITHIN ITS BORDERS AFTER REASONABLE TIME.
8) CO-OP TO PAY PATRONAGE REFUNDS TO CONSUMERS IN INDIA, PAKISTAN, AUSTRALIA,
AND OTHER CONSUMER COUNTRIES.
9) CAPITAL FOR CO-OP TO BE SUPPLIED BY WORLD BANK.
10) THIS PLAN WOULD REDUCE COST OF OIL PRODUCTS TO CONSUMER COUNTRIES BY THE
AMOUNT OF PATRONAGE REFUNDS. IT WOULD CREATE GOOD WILL, SUPPLEMENT POINT
IV, HELP IN OBTAINING YOUR PEACE OBJECTIVES, AND IN STOPPING COMMUNISM.
EXPERIENCE OF CO-OPS IN THIRTEEN COUNTRIES, WORKING TOGETHER THROUGH INTERNATIONAL
COOPERATIVE PETROLEUM ASSOCIATION FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS, SHOWS THAT THIS TECHNIQUE
AND THESE OBJECTIVES ARE SOUND. WISH YOU AND AMBASSADOR HARRIMAN COMPLETE SUCCESS
IN HANDLING PROBLEM.
